Community Climate Hub
Ecosource’s feature site, the Community Climate Hub, is located in the heart of Mississauga. The Hub includes an accessible multipurpose space with a commercial teaching kitchen, an outdoor classroom, a community garden, a dedicated youth area, and meeting rooms. Our Hub programming promotes sustainability education, offers skill development & youth leadership training, increases access to fresh local food, fosters nature connection, and encourages collaboration with local partners. We facilitate a range of education programs for a wide variety of community members and age groups.
Some examples of activities that we offer at our Community Climate Hub include:
